Identifying the built space impacts of fly-in-fly-out employment-related geographical mobility in Deer Lake, Newfoundland and Labrador
Fly-in/fly-out (FIFO) is a long-distance commuting arrangement involving the travel of individuals to and from a place of work by airplane. Research suggests that host, source, and hub communities associated with FIFO are faced with both challenges and opportunities. It has also been suggested that...

Fly-in/fly-out (FIFO) is a long-distance commuting arrangement involving the travel of individuals to and from a place of work by airplane.
